Kate Ritchie flew in from Sydney Airport on Thursday, accompanied by her daughter Mae.
The former Home and Away star, 45, appeared to be in a hurry as she walked her nine-year-old daughter through the terminal.
Kate, who shares Mae with former NRL star Stuart Webb, opted for a cozy look in an earth-tone jumper over a red T-shirt.
While wearing comfortable blue jeans, she held a red cardigan and a green jacket hanging over one arm.
The radio star wore statement glasses and a leather crossbody bag as she pushed her luggage to check-in.

Kate, who shares her daughter with former NRL star Stuart Webb, opted for a cozy look in an earth-tone jumper over a red T-shirt. While she was wearing comfortable blue jeans, she was holding a red jacket and a green jacket hanging from one arm.
She wore her long brown locks down and held her daughter’s hand as they walked.
Meanwhile, Mae wore a simple white t-shirt and blue jeans with Converse sneakers.
The trip comes just weeks after Ritchie’s stalker nightmare came to light.
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Ritchie made a phone call to NSW Police after receiving a message from Gerard Ryan, 71, saying he was in the suburb where she lives and was hoping to find her.
The radio star wore statement glasses and a leather crossbody bag as she pushed her luggage to check-in.
He had sent him “hundreds” of messages from February 2022 to April 2023, including “numerous photographs of the accused naked and numerous videos of the accused masturbating”, police facts seen by the Daily Telegraphhe claimed.
Ryan was arrested in a park in Sydney’s eastern suburbs last month and charged with stalking, to which he pleaded guilty. He also received a violence order prohibiting him from approaching Ritchie.
Waverley Local Court was told Ryan’s obsession with the TV star began last year when he began posting comments on her social media accounts including: “Hi Kate… I love you so much.”
Another post read: ‘I just want to kiss you, my heart beats for you, I love you madly.’
Ryan posted very explicit messages of a sexual nature about Ritchie on his own social media pages, and when she didn’t respond, things got worse.
On the 9-year-old’s birthday in August last year, the Nova star paid tribute to her daughter.
Police facts also indicated that Ryan had said he wanted to marry Ritchie and referred to his daughter, saying he would be “a good stepfather.”
In February he sent a letter to his work address that included a Valentine’s Day card.
In a later letter he included a photograph of himself and another of a church with the inscription: ‘In the church we could get married one day.’ It is on Rottnest Island.

Ryan posted this along with a $200 gift card, saying it was to replace his lawnmower, which Ritchie had mentioned had blown up on his Nova radio show.
Before his arrest, Ryan posted images of his trip to Sydney on Facebook, including a hotel in the eastern suburbs, the Australian National Maritime Museum and Waverley Cemetery.
Ryan was sentenced to a 12 month Probation Order and an AVO states that he must not come within 500 meters of Ritchie’s home or workplace.
